At least you have that to look forward to. I'm doing the same on Friday, albeit remotely. Switching off at midday and taking the next 2-3 months off

One thing I love the SMB for is something suddenly being a huge issue after a passing remark or something trivial that you never in a million years thought anyone would even care about.It's a tin of beans man.
How serious can it get?
I only get 2 weeks. I wanted 3 but Monday is the onsite day and with the bank holiday, starting on a Tuesday was going to be awkward. But then it does mean my second week is a 4 day week.

When I was a kid, the drainpipe outside my bedroom window rattled in a way that sounded like a growl. I woke up in a panic (probably only aged 5 or 6) convinced that a Koala Bear (which is not really a thing) was out there and trying to get in.
My mam made my dad go out in the wind and rain the next day to secure it.

Wow, now dual use

It's a huge italian thing, bit like Pavarotti, and i have a tiny council house sink, it won't even fit under the taps.

people who fall for these adverts on facebook and start commenting on the post with 'good luck in your retirement, its such a shame that the world is losing your type, honest hardworking craftsmen with skills that will be lost forever, the government should hang their head in shame, the world has gone totally woke'

It was hot desks where I worked years ago. They had to ban people from eating at their desks as you'd sit down to work and the desk would be covered in crumbs or worse. It reached boiling point where someone had been eating chicken legs while working and the phone, mouse and keyboard were covered in grease

Well I was based, most of the time at a particular office, but my job required me to regularly visit other places - often overnighters or more. I needed materials and reference documents as well as a variety of things that I needed to occasionally take with me. I was assigned a locker, and I was required to clear my desk each evening - and start again next morning of course. The locker was nowhere near big enough to contain everything I needed. So a storage room on another floor was required. And my car boot occasionally.
And then amongst all this, someone - often who had a similar job to me but with a different specialism - would turn up and be sat at ‘my’ desk, which was designated as a ‘hot desk’ and I had to find somewhere else. Often there wasn’t anywhere else. So I used meeting rooms. I used the canteen. And I used my laptop instead of the monitor and keyboard that would have been more appropriate for someone who’d had eye surgery for detached retina. I occasionally worked from home - but my back bedroom didn’t have sufficient resources, technically or space wise, to make it comfortable, and it wasn’t felt to be appropriate to work from home …. oh… hang on.. I forgot. It was as soon as Covid happened and afterward when all of a sudden ‘best practice’ and ‘service excellence’ was turned on its head and I could deliver an interactive workshop or a conference on my laptop screen.
You probably don’t see the issue because for you, your role etc., there isn’t one. For me there was. Hence ‘minor annoyance’. Except that now you’ve made me recollect it all and my piss is getting tepid again
